Grazia Deledda is currently the only Italian writer to have won the Nobel
Prize in literature. Her self-training did not stop her draw an original portrait of Sardinia, her
native island, illustrating the lives of characters who struggle between strong passions and sense of duty. Her work takes place in a space-time spanning the last years of the nineteenth century and the first three decades of the twentieth century, when despite the recent unification of Italy, the Sardinian culture was for most of the Italians, something totally unknown.
In this article, as its title indicates, it will be provided information about the relationship
between Deledda and Spain through the Spanish translations of her last novel, Cosima, published
posthumously in 1936.
